About the Show
Mel Brooks’ YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
SEP 25 – OCT 27
WILSON STAGE
Mel Brooks’ comedic genius meets black and white horror movies in this electrifying musical comedy! When Dr. Frederick Frankenstein inherits his infamous grandfather’s estate in Transylvania, little does he think he’ll be pulled into the family business – until he finds himself exclaiming “It’s alive!” as he creates a monster to rival his grandfather’s. This wildly inventive new production brings the hilarious antics of the screen sensation to life with unforgettable tunes such as “The Transylvania Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend,” and “Puttin’ on the Ritz.”

In-Depth Consideration
Geva Insights
Geva Insights is a series of post-performance conversations with thought leaders, experts, and members of the community who contextualize or provoke more in-depth consideration of a play’s themes presented in Geva’s 24/25 season. It was conceived of as a unique opportunity to strengthen our connectivity to new and existing communities in our region.
Mondays at Geva
The stages are dark on Monday evenings at Geva, so the art and action shift to the lobby and café where brilliant local visual artists, performers, musicians, and speakers broaden our consideration of the onstage productions. Geva Theatre invites the community to join us for a series of art openings and party for a couple of hours each month!
